Not only is the shower predicted to be one of the most dazzling shows ever with around 100 meteors per hour, the spectacular display will also be visible from nearly every country in the world. The debris that creates the light show are the remains of comets that have passed through Earth's orbit.

For the Geminids, viewers didn't necessarily have to try and find the radiant constellation in order to see some meteors.

Asteroids are rocky bodies going round the Sun, originating from a region between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter.
